How did Omar end up as a German officer?
I guess O'Toole as a Nazi General is a bit of a stretch, too. And to think we're all concerned about the parts Emma Stone plays.

Just watched Woman in Gold on Netflix (no streaming yet).
True story of the efforts of Maria Altmann to retrieve the famous Gustav Klimt painting of her aunt which was confiscated by the Nazis during the start of the war and became the property of an Austrian museum.
Helen Mirren stars. Excellent movie.

The story is a murder mystery in which one of three Nazi generals did the crime. The story starts in Warsaw with a Polish civilian detective. Sharif plays, Major Grau, a German officer who draws the case. He is not afraid to pursue clues that lead to a German general being the perpetrator. O'Toole's pretty good in his role.

Wasn't he always?
Omar Sharif always makes me think of Julie Christie. One of the most beautiful women ever.

Two movies that I watched recently and liked were "Lucy" and "Interstellar"
A war movie that I just watched was pretty good and gives excellent examples of complex ethical dilemmas that leaders in military faces all the time in war. Movie is called "Never So Few"(1959) with Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson as lead actors.

It Follows -- one of the better horror films in recent memory. I do have questions though. If you fly to Alaska, for example, does the follower have to walk all the way to Alaska or does it take the plane or does it materialize somewhere in the town you reside in in Alaska?
The Kingsmen -- what crap. I was so disappointed because it's one of my more eagerly anticipated movies of the year.
Ex Machina -- okay. I liked Spielberg's AI better.

Ex Machina's AI was much better looking.
I hope Man from U.N.C.L.E. is good, speaking of Vikander.

Little Boy (2015)7.4 on IMDB www.imdb.com/title/tt1810683/?ref_=nv_sr_1Some viewers' good comments ... "Excellent family movie" "Little boy. Believe the impossible" "Profoundly Moving" "Pure movie magic. Outstanding Movie" Being a sucker for well made fantasyland movie, I give this *** (very good) out of 4.

I liked it, too, and I went in thinking I might not because of the reviews. Well-made and fun. Funny, too.

Helen Mirren stars. Excellent movie. I didn't like this movie. It seemed so cut-n-dried. Predictable. If I can guess where the plot is headed, it spells doom for me.

I haven't watched the Man from UNCLE film. I watched the original TV series on DVD -- at least the first 3 seasons. Most episodes are really silly and stupid and laughable -- and not in a good way -- and the others are decent.

I had no idea I'd hear the name Ilya Kurayakin again.

I had no idea I'd hear the name Ilya Kurayakin again. He was pretty easy on the eyes, also, along with Henry. I never missed the TV show. Used to watch it with my dad. Have you seen Mission Impossible yet? Liked that one, too. You still got it, Tom. Well, you don't have. Katie, but, whatever.
